Publisher’s description: A fresh wound of the heart is torn open by the unmasking of Kuro’s deadly deception with Ni. His lessons in human emotion push Tanpopo to the limits of her resolve. Is this part of his plan as her otherworldly guide or has he underestimated Tanpopo’s dogged independence? Camilla d’Errico’s mythic and mystical take on literature is told through the unfolding narrative of Tanpopo–a mysterious girl guided by Kuro; the devil in disguise. Following from the TANPOPO Vol. 1 Hardcover, the second hardcover edition continues Tanpopo’s journey into human emotion through the works of Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe and a foray into the 1001 NIGHTS.
